Bios Life® C Plus

Bios Life® C Plus combines a proprietary process of four different methods to improve and maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Bios Life® C:

• Helps block reabsorption of cholesterol in the gastrointestinal tract
• Helps block absorption of cholesterol from digested food
• Helps reduce cholesterol produced by the liver
• Helps enhance enzymatic breakdown and removal of bad cholesterol from the body
• May help improve blood cholesterol levels
• May reduce postprandial blood sugar rise

It’s estimated that Americans consume 10-12 g of total fiber per day, less than half the amount of the recommended daily intake. Epidemiological and clinical studies have correlated high daily fiber intake with an improvement in overall health.

Bios Life® C Plus is a dietary supplement designed to increase daily fiber intake. Each serving of Bios Life® C Plus contains 3.7 g of dietary fiber. Fiber supplementation has been shown to decrease pre-prandial and postprandial glucose levels and lower LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels.

In addition to fiber supplementation, Bios Life® C Plus contains a patented blend of phytosterols, policosanol, Chrysanthemum morifolium, vitamins, and minerals. This blend of ingredients optimizes cholesterol levels through a combination of four mechanisms. First, the soluble fiber matrix prevents cholesterol reabsorption in the gastrointestinal tract through bile-acid sequestration. Second, the phytosterols reduce dietary absorption of cholesterol. Third, policosanol inhibits hepatic synthesis of cholesterol mediated through HMG-CoA reductase. Fourth, Chrysanthemum morifolium provides phytonutrients that enhance conversion of cholesterol to 7-α-hydryoxycholesterol. The four mechanisms provide a synergistic approach to optimizing cholesterol levels. *

Dissolve the contents of one packet into 8 to 10 fl. oz. (240-300 mL)of water and mix vigorously. Drink immediately. For best results, use 10-15 minutes before your two largest meals.

People who do not have adequate fiber intake (like most of us) may experience effects originating from increased fiber intake. These effects may include loose stools, abdominal discomfort, constipation, or flatulence (gas formation). These are all normal effects of fiber in your diet, and are nothing to worry about. These effects will likely subside and disappear after a few weeks of using the product. If you would prefer, you can start by using a half dose of the product to allow your body more time to adjust. Always make sure that you drink adequate water as this can help to mitigate these effects.

Bios Life® C Plus is packaged in single-serving foil packets.
